  • What "Other" music do you listen to/recommend?

Listen to Hip-Hop(hence the avatar!), Soul and Modern Classical stuff. I try and consume as much music as possible. Any recommendations on where everyone sources their music?

Probably the most beautiful piece of music I heard in 20 years;

    SM001
    Bandcamp for the more obscure music. I also consume as much new music as I can.

      SM001 Mostly discover new music on here. I struggle to keep up with just my narrow view of music, let alone discovering new genres - fuck knows how you lot find the time to do way more than me. Retirement will be mint when it comes.

        SM001 yeah, pretty much the same here. Love the classic soul sound. Would love to have been around when those tracks were being released.

            alistair lol. Bolton’s Barnet was spun from a heavenly thread. It literally shimmered.

              Didn’t he go full mullet mode before he lost it. Music & hair together.

              Millsy Being a DJ during the Northern Soul era must have been great craic.

              A couple of mixes I did years back if anyone fancies a listen. Not much in the way of mixing just a bunch of tracks I enjoyed.


                  Loving Flesh God Apocalypse at the moment.

                  SM001
                  Excellent stuff mate.Australia had a bit of a “Scene” in Melbourne+ Perth a few years back,

                    Listened to a lot of Tool during lockdown. I do try and scour Spotify for film soundtracks and the like. Tbh I really struggle finding anything that really jumps out at me when I’m shopping at Traxsource, maybe it’s an age thing I really hope it isn’t and it’s just a shit phase of house music

                    This is a stunning piece of music

                    This could easily have been written for a film

                      The Doves. Their back-catalogue is great as are the latest songs from their new album

                      Been enjoying this stoner rock band called Dead Meadow - discovered them on The Wire. Decent enough to just hit play and let the whole albums play out. Almost like Mars Volta meets the Grateful Dead.

                      also been on a War on Drugs binge, no filler albums.

                      The new Tool album is brilliant too.

                      Otherwise, got Guru’s Jazzmatazz series on repeat. Way ahead of its time.

                      SM001 mostly first-time listens on Spotify, if I like what I hear I purchase on iTunes. Got way too many playlists on my iPhone to give up on Apple.

                        Listen to loads of music. I have most albums from Prince, Depeche Mode, Talking Heads, Weller, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan, The Cure, Tame Impala, QOTSA, Radiohead, New Order, Bjork, PSB, NIN. Have a big vinyl disco and rare groove collection which is probably my first love.

                          I quite often find Marc Riley is on 6Music when I’m ferrying the lad about of an evening - well before March anyway - and I’ve rediscovered that love of guitar based indy stuff - the latest ones being Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs etc., Savages , - Idols - sort of punk but not. Not as good as The Ruts obviously.

                            baggers44 Oh …and I used to fucking hate Pink Floyd with vengeance but having listened to Radiohead I can sort of see how they were a big leap forward at the time and find myself drawn back to it.
